Just had my renewal notice for OBM (Old Bike Mart) not sure if I will bother to renew this year. The content is getting very samey now, some news, advertorials & of course the small ads, (same old bits being advertised at inflated prices). The letters page only appears about every two months & for me the only interesting pages are Mike Worthington-Williams Unearthed.
I also up till last year used to take Real Classic but I found this repetative with the same old articles, the guy with the old Triumph outfit & his mates riding out on jollies, the Bend Swinging Dave Minton, Pub Talk, the usual road tests, increasingly of more modern bikes, & of course clueless Frank in his Tales from the Shed
With the glossy mags now around £3 per time & in the main revisiting the same old subjects/bikes (how many times can you tell the Triumph story?) I have given up on the 'glossys'
What do others think?
